They are very capable cars.. He has major traction issues and whatnot but hes getting new tires and traction stuff and we are doing another race now that I finally have new M/T Drag Radials. I still pull on him pretty hard on interstate pulls and rolls so I'm happy with my cars performance. I still think that car is more capable though... Wanna see it with a TVS blower
